1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #9B Bashed on a Billboard

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary concern here. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light rounding or wear, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp razor corners visible but no severe blunting either. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or heavy print defects visible; some minor print texture typical of 1966 Topps is present. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; back cannot be assessed from this photo, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed without a closer macro shot, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - off-center left-to-right is the primary centering concern. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower left and lower right), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light print grain typical of the 1966 Topps Batman set; no creases are visible from this photo but the slightly rough right edge could indicate minor edge wear. No miscut detected, no staining or writing observed; back is not visible so hidden defects remain possible, keeping the range wide.

Centering: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (estimated ~60/40 or slightly worse L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under normal inspection; no sharp points remain, consistent with VG-EX to VG range. Edges: cuts appear somewhat rough but within normal vintage 1966 Topps range; no obvious notching or tears visible. Surface: overall gloss is partially present but noticeably diminished with some surface wear visible; no creases are clearly discernible in this photo though the image angle and resolution cannot fully rule out a light surface crease — the back is unavailable. Given rounded corners and gloss loss with no confirmed crease, VG-EX (4) is the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and VG (3) if a hidden crease exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right favoring right side), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve but appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from this angle; print quality looks clean with good color saturation typical of the Blue Bat series. Edges appear clean without major nicks. The sleeve and mild glare prevent full corner and edge assessment, and the back is unseen, so the range is widened accordingly; no miscut is evident.
